Sleeping Bag Temperature Ratings Explained

The EN Rating scale is a scientific test to determine the warmth of a sleeping bag. The test produces a Lower rating (for male sleepers) and a Comfort rating (for female sleepers). Both are listed in the features table on the product page.

A unisex sleeping bag with a Lower limit of 23ºF means a man should be comfortable down to air temperatures of 23ºF. The same bag will also have a Comfort limit, in the realm of 32°F, so a woman would be comfortable down to an air temperature of 32ºF. These ratings require a sleeping mat with an R-Value appropriate for expected ground temperatures – without this, the sleeping bag itself is unlikely to keep the sleeper warm enough.

A variety of factors impact sleeping bag warmth - the above temperatures are merely guidelines, not guarantees. It’s important to think of a sleeping bag, an appropriately insulating sleeping pad and a liner as a sleep system. For example - if you plan on sleeping in nighttime air temperatures of 27ºF / -3°C, choose a bag with a gender-appropriate rating of 23°F / -5°C, plus a sleeping mat with an R-Value of 2.5 to 3, and consider a Reactor thermal liner.

The collapsible XL-Bowl™ is considerably larger than our original X-Bowl™ and made from the same flexible food grade silicone side walls as other X-Series products. The Nylon base doubles as a cutting board and the silicone side walls collapse for compact packing.

Review by Greg G. on 16 Oct 2018review stating We Love All the Collapsible Cookware/Dinnerware

We are mainly car campers and have been making an effort to reduce the size of our camp kit. We love all of the Sea to Summit collapsible products. They pack up small and light. Most will nest together easily enough and are easy to pack for air travel as well. We've found them to be tough and durable dragging them to Yellowstone, Grand Teton and multiple trips to Shenandoah National Park this year. The XL bowl is great for mixing up pancake batter in the morning or for eating hot oatmeal. They fit easily into a backpack if you want to spoil yourself with something to eat out of besides your cooking pot.

Everyone in my last LNT outing had one. Saw you can put a gallon zip lock baggie inside open bowl easily for NOLS style group food preparation, eat and put it down without contents spilling out and no water needed for clean up. Pack out baggie with minimum space in your trash/bear bag hang. I also have the cup for coffee using an UL/ MSR stove set up for my morning stealth Starbucks Via coffee before everyone is waiting for hot water. You can pour water out like a pitcher by collapsing one side, and flip it over for a serving plate or cutting board. Weighs no more than a Toaks titanium bowl for a lot less $$$. (Usually a Mountain House Pro Pack kinda guy with my long Toaks spoon and DIY Reflectix sleeve when solo, but if you need a situation that requires more than that, this is your bowl).

Between Canoe Trips, Backpack trips and day hikes, I can highly recommend Sea to Summit Cups/Bowls/Plates as a great addition to any backwoods kitchen usage. Lightweight and durable, they always have a place in my pack.
